Short description:
This current maintenance, support and supply of networking equipment framework will conclude in 2021. That agreement covers the entire An Post network infrastructure in which there are 1 400 network devices across 900 plus sites nationwide, three mails processing centres and three data centres in the Dublin metro area. The infrastructure also provides wireless connectivity for 4 500 handheld scanners.

As the An Post networking infrastructure is large and complex there is a requirement to enhance the in-house networking expertise with external networking professional services to assist with networking design and major change projects.
An Post currently does not have a unified communications and collaboration solution. The current requirements are being met with disparate systems, these systems consist of a HQ telephony system within which there are a number of Call Centres with IVR facilities, a HQ based IP telephony system providing telephony services for remote sites, collaboration is provided by Microsoft Teams and a small call recording solution with 32 channels. However, there is now a both a business and technical requirement to unify these systems and expand the services provided.
